# ultra-research
`$SKILL_DIR` is this skill's directory. The Python helper is `scripts/vault.py`;
prompts are in `prompts/`. Read each prompt when you reach its stage.
## When to use (routing)
Prefer plain `claudex:deep-research` by default. Use ultra-research only when: the
question is high-stakes (policy/financial/factual gravity); the user explicitly
asks for dual-model or cross-verified research; or a prior deep-research run on the
topic returned `mixed`/`unreliable` citation integrity.
## Setup
1. Disambiguate like deep-research: if the question is underspecified, ask 2–3
clarifying questions, then proceed; else state one interpretation and proceed.
Never block mid-run after this point.
2. Resolve paths and the run id:
```bash
VAULT="$(python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vault.py" vaultpath)"
REFINED_QUESTION="$(cat <<'EOF'
<refined question>
EOF
)"
RUN="$(python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/vault.py" runid --date "$(date +%F)" --question "$REFINED_QUESTION")"
RUNDIR="$VAULT/$RUN"
mkdir -p "$RUNDIR"
```
The question must be passed as one safely quoted shell argument; do not inline it
inside double quotes where embedded quotes can break the command.
## Stage 1 — independent research (parallel)
- **Codex (background):** dispatch `Agent(subagent_type: codex:codex-rescue)` with the
text of `prompts/codex-research.md`, placeholders filled, including `--write` and
the absolute target `$RUNDIR/20-report-codex.md`. Prefer background.
